No. I think he means KDevelop creating and managing cmake files when you 
add/remove/rename/etc. files from your KDevelop project. Also, about 
having an easier interface to "I want to create a shared library out of 
these .cpp files and I want these .h files to be installed".

Is there any chance that make -jN will start N compilation jobs, but only 
1 linking job or moc job at most?

This is one big feature that is missing from cmake and I don't think it 
can be implemented with *make*. We'd have to switch away from make.
